Private Cardiology Video Consultation
Speak to a Consultant Cardiologist Online
Book a private 30-minute cardiology video consultation with Consultant Cardiologist Dr Salam Salloum (GMC 5209498), available to patients throughout the UK.
Discuss your symptoms, review existing results and receive clear, personalised specialist advice through a secure online appointment without travelling to a clinic.
The video format allows a natural face-to-face discussion and can be useful for showing home blood-pressure readings or talking through reports and cardiac investigations. Following the consultation, you will receive a written clinic letter summarising the advice and management plan.
What can be reviewed during a video consultation?
A video consultation provides a structured way to review a wide range of cardiology concerns, including:
- Chest pain or suspected angina
- Palpitations and heart-rhythm symptoms
- Breathlessness, reduced exercise tolerance, dizziness or near-fainting
- High blood pressure and cardiovascular risk
- Known conditions including atrial fibrillation, SVT, POTS, heart failure and valve disease
- Abnormal ECGs, heart scans, blood tests or ambulatory-monitoring results
- Medication questions, follow-up after hospital care and cardiology second opinions
Dr Salloum can explain the clinical significance of the available information and advise whether further testing or face-to-face assessment would be appropriate.
When a video consultation is the right choice
A video consultation may be suitable when you need specialist cardiology input but a physical examination is not expected to be essential at the first stage.
It can be particularly useful for:
- Reviewing previous investigations and understanding what the results mean
- Discussing symptoms, possible causes and appropriate next steps
- Follow-up after cardiac investigations or hospital care
- Medication and cardiovascular-risk review
- Stable, known cardiac conditions
- Cardiology second opinions
- Deciding whether face-to-face assessment or further testing is required
The service is available across the UK, with flexible appointments seven days a week and same or next-day availability subject to appointment capacity. Self-funded patients do not require a GP referral; insured patients should confirm cover and obtain any required authorisation before booking.
When face-to-face assessment may be more appropriate
A video consultation does not include a physical examination or diagnostic testing. A face-to-face cardiology assessment may be more appropriate when examination is likely to influence the diagnosis or management plan.
This may apply if you have:
- A heart murmur requiring clinical examination
- New or worsening breathlessness
- Recurrent blackouts or exertional dizziness
- Possible signs of heart failure
- Chest pain requiring direct clinical assessment
- Complex symptoms where examination may change the plan
- A need for a clinic-based ECG or another immediate investigation
If an in-person review is recommended, this can be discussed and arranged at the Peterborough or Corby clinic where appropriate.
This is not an emergency service. If you develop severe or persistent chest pain, marked breathlessness, collapse or another potentially life-threatening symptom, call 999 or attend the nearest emergency department.
Reviewing ECGs, scans and cardiac test results
Many patients arrange a video consultation after cardiac investigations because they want a clear specialist explanation of the findings and what should happen next.
The consultation can include review of:
- ECG reports and tracings
- Echocardiogram reports
- Ambulatory heart-rhythm monitor results
- Home or ambulatory blood-pressure readings
- Blood-test results relevant to cardiology
- Cardiac CT or CT coronary angiogram reports
- Cardiac MRI reports
- Hospital discharge summaries and previous cardiology letters
Please provide the relevant documents before the appointment where possible, including original tracings or images if they are available. This allows a more focused review.
Dr Salloum will explain the findings in their clinical context, discuss any important limitations and provide clear recommendations for monitoring, treatment or further investigation.
